Bolt made it home safely from his ice climbing expedition.So after one visitor left, two more came. Last March, we visited AlwaysGame in the Boston area and did a pub crawl. We tried to recreate the event in Concord. Just like last year, we only made it to 3 bars. We started at The Barley…
DetailsOn our drive home from the Great North Monday, I spotted a moose, but I’m not satisfied yet. I am on the lookout all the time. It is my goal to see a moose before we move out of NH. Just like it was my goal to see a rattlesnake and a tarantula in AZ.…

Our dance studio hosted another theme party (they do it every month), so it has just been “our thing” to try to come up with crazy costumes. I think we did pretty well. The hats made it difficult for our turns in the waltz and swing, but they were still fun! We are currently waiting…

Democrat, Republican or Independent, the 2009 inauguration marked a very historic event. BossLady was one of the millions of people who attended and I asked her to document her attendance. If you would like to be a guest blogger in the future, please submit your entry and my Board of Directors will review and make…
DetailsFor the 3rd year in a row, I am giving up iced tea for Lent. You might think that’s a cop-out going back to the same sacrifice year after year. But I assure you, it is really hard for me to go without my ice tea for 40 days! Like I may go into withdrawal…

For those of you who know me, you know I HATE shopping. Mainly it’s because I hate spending money and I like getting the most out of what I buy. Which is why I own clothing items from 1995. No seriously. I do. Case in point. I got the boots below when I was a…

We’re still on our quest to hit all the breweries in VT, but we also don’t want to miss the ones in NH. So this weekend, we ventured to Keene to the Elm City Brewery. The main reason we went to Keene, though, was to see a jam band Railroad Earth in concert. The lead…

After nearly 2 months, we got our refurbished TV back. Although we survived and proved our test for a life without TV, we are happy to have it back. It’s only 27 inches, but it looks so DARN BIG. I guess that’s what happens when you get used to squinting to see a 13-inch screen.…
DetailsLast night, my kickboxing partner laughed and told me that I look like I am riding a pony while trying this one move. I can assure you, when I see other people doing the move, they certainly don’t look like they are riding a pony. I never had good coordination, especially for aerobics. But man,…

McKinely has an appt. at the vet tomorrow to get his annual feline distemper vaccine and J said, “but why? His temper is fine!” ***UPDATE … Mr. McKinley’s temper is just fine following the vaccination.
DetailsI haven’t had anything blog-worthy to say lately and I apologize to my THREE blog readers, LOL. But I will say, I love Friday the 13th. And we have one today and next month. Yippee skippee! I’ve also felt like I’ve always had a good day on Friday the 13th, so I’m certainly not superstitious…

Well, Sunday was WARM. By our standards. 46 degrees!!!! We still have most of our snow, but at least some of these badasses have disappeared.
I owe my 5 blog readers some updates, so prepare for bullets on Friday! • I got most of the feeling back in my lower lip/chin. I will see oral surgeon on Tuesday, but I’m going to venture to say that the rest of the feeling is not coming back. I talked to a few…

I had a great weekend down at my sister’s and we decided to take my niece and nephew for a “drive” down to Jersey (no small feat) to visit my parents. With fresh snow on the ground, we thought we would take the kids sledding on the hills we used to go on as kids.…

I certainly don’t have the photography skills that some of my friends have, but I thought this picture was too pretty not to share. It was taken from my office window Wednesday during our latest snowstorm. Have a good weekend everyone! J is off to Columbus for a guy’s weekend with theHoss and I am…

I was so busy wallowing in my “numbness” that I forgot to mention we attended a wedding on Saturday. Guess where it took place? In our living room!!! J’s childhood friend, theBuddha, got married in Vegas and we watched the live feed. A first time for both of us, but it was neat to be…
DetailsI had a follow-up appt. with my oral surgeon who assured me that the mild pain I still feel will go away eventually, but he cannot be sure I will regain feeling in my lower lip and chin. It was all part of the surgery’s risk, as I knew. I was thankful that I didn’t…
DetailsThe biggest difference between J and I is our luck. He has it all. I have pretty much have none. We balance each other out. So last night we had a soccer game. My mouth is mostly healed, aside from the lingering numbness in my lips and chin (a story for another day). I felt…
DetailsI admit I am a little behind the times when it comes to the technology age. I don’t have a Facebook account. I don’t Twitter. I hardly text. But I do blog. And have a Myspace account (I know, how totally yesterday!). And a LinkedIn account. But this NY Times story about sending an e-card…

I survived my surgery and my first anesthesia experience. I’m recovering slowly. Don’t really feel like talking about it, but I do feel like pointing out the temperatures we’ve been experiencing. In case you can’t see in the picture, it says -18.2. The low was actually -20 on Friday. That’s NEGATIVE 20. Apparently the lowest…
